1-Button Heroic Leap

Seen a few people being asking about this so thought I'd share the way I made it, this may not be the best way but it doesn't require any sort of macro capable hardware and works for me.

Leap can be annoying to click while using other abilities, especially with bosses with small hit boxes. I use Autohotkey (easily found on Google) to make a script which clicks leap for you, so that you only have to press the leap ability and mouseover where you want to jump too. The script to do this is:

X:: ;
Send, Y ;
Click, ;
return

X is the button you want to press to use heroic leap ingame and Y is your heroic leap binding, these have to be 2 seperate keys otherwise it doesn't work. I bound heroic leap to a really obscure binding ingame (alt-=) and and made that Y, while my proper leap binding is what X is. You then just run the script!

This seems pretty awesome. Now that we are using Heroic Leap in our rotations, I could use a little help managing all the key I have to press.

My only question is, would this be considered a 3rd party addon that is against the Terms of Service? Don't want to get banned and all that.

If you're only doing something as simple as this, I highly, highly doubt they'd take action. This is more of a quality-of-life thing than abuse.

An example of abuse with this program would be making a script to set a path for mining nodes. That's obviously going beyond quality-of-life. Another potential example is making a script that prioritizes certain abilities over others in a single button press. They don't want the programs playing the game for you, is basically what it comes down to.

Yeah, putting the "!" at the beginning of macros would prevent the green reticle from being turned off if you spammed it. However, it is no longer required as you can spam the actual ability and the green circle remains on until you hit ESC or use the ability.

Interpreting the GMs' definition of automation, as long as there is no set delay between the button press and the click action, that click is still technically part of doing 1 action - Heroic Leap, in this case. I dunno if there is actually an api script command for clicking on the ground though.

EDIT: Upon further investigation, they removed the api script command for clicking on the ground... so this could get you banned, unless a GM says otherwise.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you wrote. But aren't you essentially doing the same thing ingame? Hit your Leap macro then click on the ground where you want to land?

Again, I may be mistaken. Also, AutoHotKey is allowed for something like if you are dual boxing and wanting to send the same key to both clients, pretty much anything else is against the ToS such as macro'ing stuff together and things.

Yea, I didn't explain it brilliantly, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6_sOlTlzUE this is what it does but with a slightly different script that actually works, I think Swifty also made a video ages ago about his 1-button heroic leap with his Razer gear that shows what it can do but I couldn't find the vid.

This is macroing the act of pressing the keybind and clicking - thus whenever you press the heroic leap keybind you dont have to click ;] QoL improvement, nothing else... just a removal of a small annoyance

Blizzard's policy goes something along the lines of 1 key press = 1 action, and nothing automated outside of in-game macros putting multiple off-GCD abilities together. AHK does the clicking part for you so you will be banned if caught.

Neither AHK nor Razer keyboard macros are against the ToS. I've been using AHK for years to bundle multiple actions into one button.

What is against the ToS are botting programs that extensively automate actions, not some stupid macros.
